About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was a child, and I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals (even saving wild rabbit litters more than once!). Additionally, I work part-time at a local pet store, where I've received extensive training in pet care and health. I have lots of flexibility around my schedule, but usually mornings or weekends (excluding Saturdays) work best for me! I'm always willing to move things around if needed. I have experience with crate-trained animals and free roamers. I’m open to any of your preferences regarding your pets' care, and will strive to maintain their routine. Part of my job requires completing Animal Care courses, so I have above-average knowledge regarding pet health and care. It's important to me to treat your pets the way you would, including working on any training or behaviours you've been working on at home! I also own a cat, but she is very friendly and well-socialized, so I'll take any preferences regarding her interactions with your animal into consideration while they stay with me. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your baby is well cared for so you can enjoy your time while they're away.
About: I’ve had a dog for the past 12 years and have learned a lot about caring for her individual needs. She can be anxious around new people and loud noises, so I’ve learned to stay calm and give her time to feel comfortable. Now that she’s a senior, I’ve also learned to adapt to her changing needs, from shorter walks to extra rest and patience. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule, and I’m usually free in the mornings. I also work a couple of evenings a week, but I’m happy to work around your schedule! I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who are shy or anxious. I also follow the owner's instructions closely so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for while you’re away
“Brianna was amazing! We received plenty of pictures daily from her and her communication was great. Just all in all super easy to coordinate with and would definitely book again.”
“Sara is absolutely wonderful, she absolutely exceeded expectations, was wonderful to get to know, and my cats loved her! and on top of everything even sent some GORGEOUS photos of them while we were away! If she wasn't moving away from Toronto my wife and I would be hiring her for every upcoming trip, anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will not have any regrets! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of our furry kids!”
“Mylo had a wonderful stay with Zarah and her family. I received daily pictures and updates about how he was doing. When picking up Mylo, I was given amazing advice and extra cat supplies like cat treats Mylo had liked more then the ones I sent him with. I would definitely book with Zarah again and recommend her to every pet family if needed. Thank you again Zarah! :)”
About: I am absolutely an animal lover! My house has always been filled with pets who I have become extremely comfortable caring for and providing with plenty of love! My senior dog Fenway unfortunately passed in February and I am looking to share my animal love with some of your fur babies! I currently work full time but work from home on Friday’s and am available to hangout with your fur baby! I am also available most weekends and evenings for drop ins or to hangout with your pet! I am extremely comfortable caring for animals of any kind and am very aware of behavioural cues and needs of every pet! I am conscious that every pet is different and am excited to be able to build a personal relationship with your pet.
“Zain took great care of my cat while I was on vacation. He gave me updates, sent some photos and even went above and beyond and cleaned up some vomit my cat had left behind. I really appreciate his services. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: Hello my name is Claire and I love all animals. I have many years of experience of caring for animals. I have taken care of many dogs over the years. I have walked, fed, groomed and played with big and small dogs. I have also taken care of hamsters, fish, rats, frogs and other small pets. I volunteer with the cats at the Ottawa Humane Society. I provide enrichment to cats who are all unique. I am looking forward to meeting your furry friend. I am not currently working but I volunteer Saturday mornings at the Ottawa Humane Society. Should this change, I will update my profile as needed I will prioritize caring for your pet in their home as they would be most comfortable in a familiar environment. I will ensure that your cat is fed, has a clean litter box and gets plenty of enrichment.
About: I've had a pet most of my life but in the last few years I decided to foster cats instead of owning any pets. I've had all age groups and different levels of care needed. From fresh out of the womb to geriatric and needing daily medications. We fostered 20 kitties! I also petsit my asthmatic fur nephew and have experience administering a pump to him. I do have kids that are left at home and they're 19, 13 and 9. They're very respectful towards all animals! Though my husband and kids will be here with me while I'm taking care of your pet(s), I will be the only one providing care. I'm use to having an animal around and am very flexible and able to accommodate different routines and needs. I understand that all pets are different and have unique personalities. With having fostered for a few years now, I'm able to pivot based on any specific needs an animal may have, whether that means giving extra cuddles, giving space or hiding spots to decompress, comfy beds to lounge. I make sure any pet in my care is safe and that any potential dangerous items are put away. All my windows have screens and I don't open them wide enough for anyone to escape.
About: I am a cat lover who enjoy being around cats. I have a very lovely, peaceful, kind, affectionate cat (his name is Louie) super cute cat. So I am familiar on how to take care of cats. In addition to that, my dad used to bring kittens to home when i was child. I clean the litter and comb my cat fur everyday. I change water bowl everyday. And I feed him twice a day to keep him fit. I live in an apartment that is very safe for cat. I do not open the balcony and there is screens in all windows. It is completely safe place.
“Holly was great! Maizy was in good hands and I was updated as scheduled with great photos and comments! I will book Holly again and use her as my preferred cat sitter! Thank you so much Holly!”
“Nevaeh was great! She took on our request very last minute, and really got us out of a jam caused by another sitter that cancelled on us a day and a half before we were leaving. After meeting her we knew that our cats would be in very good hands. Thank you Nevaeh!”
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for dogs through family, friends, and my time helping at a veterinary clinic. During that time, I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, assisting with their care, and accompanying them to obedience training classes. I understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, structured routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working and would love to spend my down time caring for animals as it has always been a passion of mine. Schedule is pretty flexible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than my own, as I want to ensure every pet is in the environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As a cat mom of two, I understand how important it is to know your cats are in loving and trustworthy hands while you’re away. I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats and genuinely love spending time with them. Whether your cat is playful and affectionate or shy and prefers their space, I always make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles and keeping you updated with photos while you’re away! I currently balance working part-time with studying, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week to offer cat sitting services. I’m happy to arrange drop-in visits around my schedule to make sure your cats are fed, comfortable and given plenty of attention while you’re away. I always do my best to accommodate your cat’s usual routine! As a cat mom of two, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every cat as if they were my own and always make their safety and comfort a priority. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully and make sure your cats have everything they need. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Lifelong animal lover, 3 years of personal experience. I’m a warm, caring and attentive pet lover who treats every animal as if they were my own. Having grown up with cats and dogs of my own, I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, loved and able to stick to their familiar routines. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, play and training schedules, and I’ll make sure to maintain the boundaries and training goals you’ve already established. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for and understood while you’re away. I am currently in the process of going back to school. The flexibility of pet sitting allows me the freedom to study and pursue my dreams while having a job that brings me joy and purpose. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding and walking schedules, medications, training cues, house rules, and preferred routines. I want pets to feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, so I keep their routine as consistent as possible and give them plenty of attention, affection, play, and exercise. I also prioritize clear communication with owners and am happy to provide updates and photos so they know how their pet is doing.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Manotick
Antony did an amazing job watching over our two kitties over a period of 7 days. He made sure he had a clear list of items to check on for them before his first visit which I really appreciated, including a meet and greet before the first official visit. While we were away, he flagged an overflowing water fountain for us, asked for further instructions and actually went above and beyond what we would have expected, staying over time. He sent regular updates and always came on time. I would strongly recommend his services and will also likely be using them again in the near future.
Jiaqi is amazing! She is very communicative and she does everything to make sure your pet is well taken care of! She took lots of pictures and videos of my cat and did a great job changing his water and cleaning his litter box! I will be a return customer for sure!
Ivane watched my cat for a week and I could tell that she took great care with him. I know my cat and there’s been times when I’ve come home from a vacation and his fur is scattered and he looks stressed, but when I came home from this week away, he was calm and collected. I knew instantly he was comfortable and happy to have an experienced animal caregiver like Ivane. She did an outstanding job with my cat and I would recommend her to anyone.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Manotick choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
